2XKO Receives Its Final Update

We all knew it was coming, but it still feels weird that it's now here. The final content update for 2XKO.

Even though active development only truly ceases in December, and community tournament support will continue into 2027, there will be no more major changes or updates. Just some inevitable cleaning and touch ups that follow any significant patch.

Though with that in mind, this is still a massive content drop.

• Two entirely new characters (that take roster up to a respectable 18)
• New story, augments, and offline support for The Climb game mode
• In place of ranked, there is now a Leaderboard, and players will be able to gain or lose Leaderboard Points by playing in lobbies
• With this, Matchmaking is updated to be based on LP, with two different options based on whether you want a fair match, or if you want to find a game quickly
• Various QoL improvements: Training mode will remember you previous set-up, lobbies will cycle through different themes, and you can adjust input delay now

There are no big system changes, and character balancing is mostly made up of very pointed tweaks, because as Yohosie points out in her summary, the balance is rather strong, and doesn't require sweeping changes.

That said, if you want to dive into specifics, make sure to check out the official website.
